As everyone must have heard by now, the Volcanic eruption in Iceland has pretty much disrupted the whole world, and I am a direct victim as i am stuck here in India for 2 and a half weeks more than i was meant to! But its amazing how big the impact this Volcanic eruption has had. As airports all over the road have been closed, passengers are stranded all over the world. Firstly, hotels are having to kick out guests from hotels as they have stayed the amount of nights they have book, or just have no more money to stay any longer. Surely this is an act of 'being bad' by the large hotel chains or is it just then not being compassionate and thinking about money? The next acts of 'being bad' are taking place in the airports that these stranded passengers have no choice but to stay it. Riots and fights are taking place in airports as toilets are being blocked up, water is running short, seats are limited for people to sleep on. Thousands of people are stranded in airports all over the world and the result of this is upset and angry passengers resorting to violence to try and help the situation. Surely this is being bad? or are these just examples of acts of desperation?
